INTERVIEW: LISA EVANS and NATALIE WILSON

Playwright Lisa Evans and director Natalie Wilson, head of Theatre Centre, talk to Aleks Sierz about The Day the Waters Came (Unicorn), a youth theatre play about the flooding of New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Recorded at the Unicorn.

It’s about empathy: young audiences begin to realise that a disaster does not just happen to other people, but could happen to them.
